Mr A Lawrence Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Just spent the last 3 hours fitting a electric boot popper kit to the wifes Mgf. Checked it first and apart from a minor discrepancy in the wiring diagram it worked fine. Installed it and wired it up to find that it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!! Works fine when it's not connected to the lock cable but doesn't when connected. Piece of shit. Nyphur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sold some Vanden Plas 1500 hubcaps via the Allegro club on Facebook. Sent then with MyHermes. Buyer asked at 15.12 if I'd sent them. Checked Hermes and they'd left them in the porch at 15.15, 3 minutes after the seller queried where they were. "We don't have a porch" Ffs! What's going on? Checked on street view and none of the estate has a porch or anything like a porch. This'll be the first one Hermes have lost (I assume the buyer isn't pulling a fast one) May put in a claim early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 My lovely little AX has a leaky sunroof. How leaky? A huge puddle in the footwell leaky.... On a less grumpy note it really is rust free for a MK1 AX. Thats probably due to it being welded a fair bit. Quite amazing it's still going.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I want to whine about litter again. I got home at 1:30am the other day, and there were a couple of bottles and cans on the ground near the car (there always are) but since it's recycling bin day I ended up risking a reputation as 'litter weirdo' and walking the entire length of the street putting the many, many bottles and cans in the closest bins. But what really annoyed me is the knowledge that 100 houses put out their bins that evening, and dozens of them didn't bother to pick up the litter immediately in front of them. The people passing through don't give a shit, and the people living on the street don't give a shit either. It's tiring. chaseracer, Cavcraft, myglaren and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why put you litter in the bin ( most people keep the bins out front) when it is far easier to drop it in the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 But the teachers wouldn't get 8 weeks holiday The poor darlings. Please don't start on this hoary old chestnut - it merely underlines your ignorance. Domestic Management (of whom I see little enough during term-time) is - and has been - showing all the familiar signs of being physically and mentally unwell for some considerable time. She loves her job and is very good at it, but the third week of this month will come as a relief. She's actually considering early retirement, not that we can really afford it, but her health and wellbeing comes first.

Lankytim Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 My Bro in law did a year as a primary school teacher, all the holidays, weekends and evenings were taken up with marking and lesson planning. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Just arrived home from work, police are here, my door lock is not longer attached to the door frame, the flat across the hall's door is no longer on it's hinges, seemingly I was burgled. Thankfully the postman who lives next door came home at 12 found the thieves (and bloke and a lass) sat on the front door step to the block and phoned the police when he saw the doors were smashed in and they were promptly caught after trying to leg it. The only thing they seem to have tried to take was my tin of loose change. Guessing they were after cash only, drug money most likely. I have to head up to Aberdeenshire to clear my bloody garage, currently trying to bodge my door lock back on with an Imperial spanner, a butter knife and a small pair of scissors which waiting for my landlady to contact her insurance company... #GlasgowLyfe somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise2cv Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 My sister is a teacher. Regularly leaves work at half three in the afternoon! The afternoon! What Luxury. That when she gets home she also regularly stays up til midnight marking or lesson planning or doing other work passes under the radar. Including in terms of pay. purplebargeken, loserone, Cavcraft and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
